Peru drug trafficking scam
The Foreign Office is warning that Britons are being targeted by drug barons luring them to Peru with the promise of a financial reward.
Once in Peru, the Britons are unexpectedly presented with gifts or items to take with them out of the country, but these have been filled with illegal drugs.
The Foreign Office said British nationals are being contacted through email scans and warns that those who respond and collect the ‘gifts’ face detention for drug trafficking.
